Learn cause of bad back
In dates back to three years
ago when I was changing a
tire. Something snapped, and
I couldn’t stand up. I
panicked, and the pain was
something that defies
description. Someone helped
me back home where I whim
pered and shuddered, trying
to figure out what happened.
After a few days it got better,
and 1 more or less ignored it.
There have been several
episodes since, triggered by
dumb things like bending
over to tie my shoe laces.
It seems like every time I
have another “attack” the
getting better process takes
longer. I’m never without
pain, and every day is a “let’s
see - how - it’s - going - to - be -
today” situation. My normal
routine has been greatly cur
tailed.
1 went to an orthopedic
surgeon (highly recom
mended). He reached around
and hit the sore spot. When I
yelled he chuckled and said
it’s a degenerative disk with
low back sprain (he had al-
ready looked at the X ray). He
gave me a cortisone injection
and sent me to his physical
therapist who went through
exercises. I’ve done them,
more or less, regularly, and
the condition is definitely
worse. An hour on my feet is
about all I can take. Two and
a half sends me home to
booze, which is the only thing
that relieves the pain. If this
was your back what would
you do with the darn thing?
DEAR READER - You
have lots of company among
my readers, I’m sure.
The first and most impor-
tant thing to do about a bad
back is to find out the cause.
Some are muscular spasms
and can be relieved with
good exercise programs.
Some of these are caused by
underlying problems putting
an unusual strain on the mus
cles along the spine. One ex
ample is the short leg prob
lem. If you have a short leg, it
tilts the pelvis, this causes the
spine to shift like a crooked
stack of dominoes. Even the
shoulders change position
and finally the head sits to
one side or the other. Al
though the immediate mus-

Air Force Base, Tex., after
cular spasm can be relieved
by injections and various
techniques, it will return
unless the underlying prob
lem is corrected.
You can have the same
problem with sitting if one
side of your pelvis is smaller
than the other. Bad beds and
bad chairs, usually the too
soft variety, can also put a
strain on weak back muscles.
When a disc is the problem
you can sometimes get
results with conservative
management, and your doc
tor has taken this approach.
Since you state it has not
worked you need to see the
orthopedic surgeon again. He
needs to know this. It might
be important in deciding if
you need an operation. If it
were my back I would go
back to the orthopedic
surgeon and let him know
that I still needed help. There
is a lesson in this for all peo
ple. If your doctor starts you
on a program and you don’t
get results, don’t go doctor
shopping immediately. He
may have needed this infor
mation to decide what is the
best treatment for you. Go
back and give him a chance
to use this information to help
you.
